Race rep
nooooo
Although is a fair bit south of you I highly recommend
Tristian at Redline motorcycles
112 Hammond Rd, Dandenong.
9792 5025
Or to the west a bit...
Kon and John at High Octane Motorcycles
Settlement Rd Thomastown.
Used them both a lot when I was living there and they wont rip you off, definitely worth the effort to get to either.

pablos

mick hone

and Brett at madbiker
http://www.madbiker.com.au/en/
Bret is my first choice but he's getting busy. My wife gets her bike done at Mick's.

Con does a good job at High Octane - I know one of the guys at Mick Hone, but have never had service done there. Ever from Hoppers Crossing I use High Octane.

Re: good place in melbourne for service
Con at high Octane is a good mechanic. If that's close, just go there.
As alternatives, brett at Mad biker on dorset rd is great. Not hard on the pocket.
Tristan at redline is a bloody good bloke, known him for 1? Years. He also does a full and thorough job.

Tim and Stu at InTune in Ringwood have always been excellent with any of our bikes (6 currently between us all), including the past kwakas (ZZR600 RIP and the GPz1100).

Re: good place in melbourne for service
anyone know if they specialise in installing frame sliders as well?
some mechanics sweat just hearing it cause apparently some are a b#$ch to install
i want somewhere close since im already over 200kms from my first service. (1k)
btw my choices so far either in-tune or high octane

Re: good place in melbourne for service
I'll be at High Octane bright and early tomorrow for a tyre fitting, as for frame sliders, I don't think Kon has a prob with them, there is one bike there with massive frame sliders on it and as it turns out Kon amde them himself whilst he was doing his apprenticeship way way back.
